Artist Statement

Encountering a garden stream, you might stop to watch the water ripple in the sun, or see the fish dart back and forth beneath the surface. You might toss in a pebble to make concentric waves or drop crumbs of food to attract the fish. It is this kind of experience, a natural opportunity for interaction and reverie, that ofish intends to produce.
